"Master Peng, this time the lower officials really tried their best, but... But I didn't expect the emperor to have such an attitude! Gao Shi flicked his sleeves, sat down and clapped his hands and sighed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Okay, okay, don't be discouraged, didn't the emperor put Guo Xun in prison? Isn't that a big win for us? Although Peng Yue said this, his brows kept furrowing, obviously he was also worried about this matter.

"But after the emperor imprisoned Guo Xun, there was no follow-up, how could this be?" , Gao Shi's tone of voice was also a little resentful, "The criminal department's verification of the crime was also detained by the emperor, and there has been no response so far, this matter will not stop there..."

"No!" , Peng Yue didn't wait for Gao Shi to finish speaking, he firmly pushed his hand at him, and his voice unconsciously raised a little, I don't know whether he wants to give Gao Shi confidence, or want to give himself confidence, "Don't worry, this matter will definitely not end here." ”

"Yes, things have come to this point, it can be said that there is no buffer room in the future, if you don't take this opportunity to solve the problem in one fell swoop...", Gao Chang breathed a sigh of relief and looked out the window, "I'm afraid it will be more difficult in the future, we will leave him a chance, he may not leave us a chance..."

"No, things have to be settled this time, otherwise... I don't know who it will be next time I'm in that prison...", Peng Yue lowered his eyebrows and looked at Gao Shi again, "I think your excerpt has been written quite well, so I said... The problem shouldn't be in this letter..."

"Yes, I don't think there is anything wrong with this letter, I heard that the emperor saw my letter at that time, he was very angry, and immediately ordered Jinyi Wei to arrest Guo Xun into the Zhenfu Division...", Gao Shi said at this time was "impassioned", "Later, after the investigation and punishment of the Law Department, Xun deserved to die, but... But the emperor dragged things on..."

"Yes, why did the emperor drag this matter up...", Peng Yue muttered quietly, as if asking himself a question, "What is the problem?" ”

"Master Peng, could it be that the lower officials are soft-spoken? Otherwise... It's up to the adults to play it themselves, right? Gao Shi whispered on the side.

"No! It's definitely not like this...", Peng Yue waved his hand when he rushed high with a solemn face, "The effect of your performance is better than the effect of my performance, I will make a statement to the emperor, the emperor's first reaction will be a political dispute, and if you make a statement to the emperor, the emperor will naturally not have this impression, after all, this is your own job!" ”

"Oh... That's the same...", Gao Shi nodded knowingly, "Then it should be something else... In fact, at the beginning, the emperor's attitude was quite resolute, and he also ordered the Criminal Department and other three law divisions, as well as officials such as Jinyiwei and Kedao, to try together, but after the trial, there was a problem..."

"yes... Why did it go wrong after interrogating it...", Peng Yue stared at a certain place in a daze, "Think about when exactly the changes occurred..."

"To talk about change... It should be when the emperor makes an order again...", Gao Shi listened to Peng Yue's words, and also recalled carefully, "It was at the critical time when the trial was carried out that the emperor gave an edict to the law department, saying that "the Jinyi guard flail is a crime, and there may not be no one who is guilty, and the heavenly virtue is good on the back, and the even shape is dreaming, and the flail is added...", in short, the emperor has doubts about the whole thing, and wants the law department to act cautiously, so the trial has been delayed, after all, the emperor's will must be taken into account..."

"Hmm... I also know this...", Peng Yue rubbed his brows a little tiredly, "I'm thinking about what suspicious things happened before this..."

"Master Peng, Xia Guan has an idea... I don't know if I should say it or not...", this is not a polite remark when he is high, because his eyes are indeed a little hesitant when he says this.

"It's okay... Let's talk about it...", Peng Yue's expression was a little wrong when he saw Gao, but he didn't take it to heart, "See each other in this private room, what do you and I have to avoid... There's no one else in this room...", Peng Yue said as he pointed around, indeed, when Peng Yue was discussing matters with some officials who were relatively close, he was not used to having people waiting beside him.

"Okay, then I'll talk to you... Of course, this is just a guess on my part...", Gao Shi subconsciously looked around, "I think the problem should be on the fold on the five cities imperial history Che Bangyou and the thirteen imperial history Dong Hanchen..."

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Peng Yue saw that Gao Shi, who had always been calm and calm, also looked nervous and slightly mysterious at this time, and couldn't help but sit up straight, "You talk about it carefully... I don't understand..."

"As far as the lower officials know, not long after this fold was submitted, the emperor's edict was issued, and it can be inferred from the time that there is a connection, and...", Gao Shi narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice a little, "And the content in it has to make people suspicious... In that letter, not only Guo Xun was impeached, but also by the way, the British Gong Zhang Rong, Hui Anbo Zhang Lan, the imperial prince commanded Qian Weiyuan, Xia Xun and others to be associated with Guo Xun, and even the Fang Shi Duan Chaoyong who had been executed was also listed, plus there were hundreds of other officials of all sizes such as Sun Peng, Sun Huai, Li Fu, Deng Qin, etc..."

"What? How could such a thing happen? Peng Yue was obviously a little surprised, "This kind of thing must be told in advance in the future, it is inconvenient for me to contact this case now, unlike you... Anyway, be sure to tell me if there is such a piece in the future! ”

"Hmm... If this happens again, the lower official will definitely come and report to the adults as soon as possible...", Gao Shi frowned, "Didn't you order this matter?" I look at this movement... It's like an adult..."

"Of course not...", Peng Yue felt quite funny in his heart, he couldn't think of such a "vicious" method, "Dong Hanchen... Well? You said it wouldn't be..."

"Lord Xia!" , Gao Shi also realized this problem at this time, "Lord Xia has not left Beijing yet, and Lord Dong and Lord Xia..."

"It seems that Lord Xia is still too anxious...", Peng Yue sighed with a wry smile, "Actually, Lord Xia should have avoided this matter, but it seems that he is still not at ease..."

"But... But isn't Lord Xia self-defeating this time? Gao Shi frowned, but it was difficult to say anything resentful, "I guess Lord Xia wants to stimulate the emperor to make a decision, but the emperor has put the matter on hold, I think the emperor is afraid of making a big deal about it, after all, there are too many people involved..."

"No, it's not, how could Lord Xia do such a foolish thing?" , Peng Yue smiled knowingly, "Lord Xia did it on purpose, the key is that these people he exposed are very meaningful..."

"I think it should be, after all, Lord Xia has always acted cautiously...", Gao Shi nodded thoughtfully, "At the beginning, I still had some resentment in my heart against Lord Dong and the others, and I felt that they had caused a big deal, but now it seems that I blame them wrongly..."

"Actually, at the beginning, I felt that there were too many people involved in this letter, so I have always been hesitant to avoid it, but now it seems... I don't understand what I want...", Gao Shi shook his head and smiled, "Master Peng, what is the mystery of these people involved in the concerto?" ”

"Mystery? It's not a mystery, it's just that Lord Xia caught a heart problem of the emperor...", Peng Yue looked at Gao Shi with a smile, "Actually, you also mentioned this matter last time, hasn't the emperor always attached great importance to military power?" What do you think about the people involved in the recital? ”

"Oh...", Gao Shi opened his mouth wide, looking like he had realized, "Some of these people are real power figures in the Beijing army, and they have more or less something to do with the army..."

"That's it...", Peng Yue smiled a little insincerely, "Lord Xia saw the emperor's thoughts, so he wanted to use the matter of military power to remind the emperor, so that the emperor could take the opportunity to put these people... Annihilation in one fell swoop, so as to firmly control the military power in your hands, you must know that the British duke, Hui Anbo and other relatives are not so easy to control..."

"It's a good ploy!" , Gao Shi nodded approvingly, "It seems that Lord Xia is very far away, he has been thinking about the emperor's affairs, how can the emperor not believe in his sincerity!" ”

"But don't you think Lord Xia's game of chess is a bit too big?" , Peng Yue's face was a little unhappy at this time, "Originally, it was just to deal with a Guo Xun, but things have evolved to the present... That's a different kind of thing. Hundreds of people... I think that if you want to solve this problem, at least a few hundred people, isn't this a naked political massacre? ”

"It's... This ultimately depends on the emperor's intentions...", hearing Peng Yue say this, Gao Shi's expression was also a little embarrassed, "Besides, the things mentioned in the recital are not false, they usually help Guo Xun to do evil, and they have also done a lot of bad things, even if they are punished, they deserve it..."

"You can't say that, if it is involved in this matter, they may be punished much more severely than they deserve...", Peng Yue took a deep breath, "And we have to think about the problem in the long run, and we can't be confined at this time." First of all, this time we have to deal with Guo Xun, and we will also involve some Guo Xun's party members, but not only have anything to do with Guo Xun, we will have to fight all of them, which will not only increase the difficulty of the matter, but also make enemies for the future. You must know that after this political scheme, those who are impeached will become enemies for life, what kind of force do you think about this? And if the emperor takes this opportunity to firmly grasp the military power, then in the future, the emperor suddenly remembers and thinks that if he killed some people who should not be killed, then who should be credited with this crime? You also know that according to the emperor's temperament, this possibility is not impossible, right? ”

"Oops... After such a little bit of attention from the adults, I seem to have realized something...", Gao Shi rolled his eyes, and also thought about the seriousness of the matter.

"In short, I don't think this matter is appropriate, there is no need to make it so complicated, I think it is imperative for the emperor to execute Guo Xun...", Peng Yue held his forehead with his hand a little weakly, "Why do you want to make things so big..."

"Master Peng, there are some things you may not know, in fact, things are really not that simple...", Gao Shi saw that Peng Yue's expression was a little depressed, and the words that were held in his heart spit out again, "Hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, Guo Xun's power is far greater than we imagined, these days, Lord Xia is secretly asking Lord Che to investigate the interrogation of the Criminal Department, and Sun Gang, the commander of the Suppression Division, has privately accepted bribes from the Guo family." Shi Lang Zhong Qian Dehong, the director Feng Huan, the commander of the Zhenfu Division Palm Seal Ni Min and others are all implicated in Guo Xun, they have a good relationship with Guo Xun before, if it is really only Guo Xun who is responsible, then the problem will not be over, you must know that Guo Xun is a relative, and behind him is a huge strength accumulated in the past two hundred years! ”

Peng Yue listened to Gao Shi's narration, and his brows furrowed more and more. He had to admit that what Gao Shi said was right, and Xia Yan's consideration was also reasonable, but this incident once again proved to him the darkness and cruelty of political struggle.

Thinking about it again, during the Taizu period, Hu Weiyong, Lan Yu and other cases involved tens of thousands of people, how did Zhu Yuanzhang make this heart?

"Master Peng, there is a sentence that the lower officials don't know whether to say or not..."Gao Shi saw that Peng Yue's face was wrong, and he seemed to hesitate, so he spoke out again to convince him, "I know, Lord Xia's move... It may make you a little dissatisfied, but if it is Guo Xun who attacks today, and it is Lord Xia who suffers, then do you think you can still sit here safely? How many more people do you think we're going to be involved? The lower official may be disrespectful, and I hope that the adults will forgive me...

"It's okay, you're right...", Peng Yue suddenly had a kind of incomprehension of officialdom in his heart at this time, disgust and even a trace of fear, "It's come to this, just wait and see what happens..."
